Kristiina Kalliomaa - STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN
I don't need a professional website, I'm in need of a hobby website for everything I'm not able to do as a professional SW developer.
I want to keep my hobby website as simple as possible without including any of my professional SW development skills and I'm not interested in an employment where I'm in need of the skills required for my hobby website.
Designers follow rules and current standards. Art focus on problems, tries to display problems and pushes design out of the comfort zone.
My hobbies will not generate a livable income, they are non-reductional expenses and I will not turn any of my hobbies to a profession. My hobbies have never been and never will be a full-time occupation.
I'm not interested in selling anything. I'm interested in spending my money on my commercial hobbies - my hobbies are about spending money on things that interests me.
I'm the owner of my hobby website and I decide how it should look like and what it should contain, not anyone else.
I prioritize new home user technology, hobby art and change in my life. Changing jobs, interiors in my apartment, and what's on offer in stores are part of my financial investments. Change in what is on offer in my hobbies.
I decided to have my own website to get into the technical issues involved in hosting an internet site at a web hotel that I never have been involved in as a developer. I can use my site for whatever interests me over time and I'll be one of the first to be aware of technical issues, and as a developer I'm not interested in using any free email addresses when I'm unemployed, professionally or personally.
My website generates no income, it has no deductible costs and all expenses are paid by me. I pay for my domain and the web hotel on annual basis.
If someone would like to publish something on my website, it's possible if you pay a fee and the content must be approved by me. Free passengers will be thrown overboard.
If you want to take your language skills beyond advanced native skills, you need to get training to pass the certificates. I'm currently certified in both Swedish and English. The certified levels open up the language to greater understanding on multiple levels, but the usage can leave people behind. Those who understand, understand it all on several levels and those who don't understand, they don't understand anything. It is up to each individual to decide what level is right for them and accept that they may not be understood or understand everything. There are several types of certificates that will take you to different understanding, the understanding is the goal and not perfect grammar, spelling or pronunciation. How things are spelled or pronounced and what grammar to use may be redefined by certificates. Certificates will result in how you understand people around you and that may change how you want to live your life. I'm happy with the certificates I have, and I may invest in others in the future.

kkefa = Kristiina Kalliomaa's ebb floating alternative, which can be modified when needed and no external investors are required.
My website is a time-consuming occupation during ebb, usually a lot have changed with tech and in many of the fields of my interests and it's rewarding to get into the changes. Evaluate new stuff, new tech, new discoveries, discard some and include others, update my skills and have the time for it when the commercial job market is closed. If you have your boat ashore at ebb, you're not going anywhere in anything commercial - better find something to occupy yourself with. In highs the site is mostly underwater with low activity. I have turned my game from low to high with a new sail construction, I'm not interested in lowering my spendings even if it would be possible. I'll stick to highs and the time I'll spend on my hobbies will return to my normal levels, the sea can be a bit rough on its way up. I've improved my low levels skills in every recession, but I've always been better at highs in the non-fussy segment and that's where I want to be. I will increase my spending to an even higher level whenever possible and once I get a new job, and I will stay out of the fussy segments.
Personal finance is not the same as business finance, national economics, or the economics of financial markets. My interest is my own personal finance and no one else's. If you don't care about your own personal finances, that's fine with me. I have never been and won't be responsible for someone else's economy - private or business.
